Imagine you're the GM of the Arizona Cardinals and by some strange act of the football magic both Courtney Upshaw and Melvin Ingram drop to you at #13, who would you pick?
Being the well prepared GM you are, you of course have done some homework and wrote down some notes on each player. Take a look at your notes after the break...

ourtney Upshaw, DE/OLB, Alabama Height: 6-2. Weight: 272. Projected 40 Time: 4.70. Bench: 22. Arm: 32. Hand: 8 5/8. Highlights |
Pros: |
Pros: Huge: Upshaw weighs in at 272 lbs and can bully offensive lineman Speed - Upshaw ran a 4.7, just 0.04 slower than Ingram. He can move for his size. Relentless - Never stops moving his feet and is a solid tackler. |
Cons: Experience - Primarily played as a 4-3DE in college. Over aggressive - Ingram will often over pursue and does not anticipate the snap well. Ingram will also miss a few tackles. |
Cons: |
